The first thing jg a dinner party, which is no trifling affair either in trouble or expense. In r ranee, it has been well said that a lady " can give a splendid party on two lemons.' 1 But John Bull roasts his beef, and mutton, and veni son, and culls in his friends to the number of a dozen, and brings out his choice wipe, and makes a long, very long meal of it. There are so many courses, so much form, so much wine. bibbing, and such a trcmon dous importance attached to the qualities 4fthe eatables and drinkables, that to a niaiV who has not made a god of his belly, thi j bountiful hospitality is somewhat weari sorner As soon as the ladiei and her Majesty's health are disposed of comes a discussion of the Tariff, or Sir Robert's pol icy, or the Corn Laws. . And politics ore discuised in England in a way that shows they aro not a mcro bagatelle affair as in America. In our country politics are made a jest. They are treated jocuiany in pn vate.and iu the newspaper wo goto the oils, perhaps in a mock procession ; make sport of each other when there ; laugh alike at victory, or defeat, and the man who takes political jokes " earnest,' is apt to bo considered rather a crabbed follow. In England politics appear like nn afiair ol life and death. They aro discussed with KravitT. not merely because tho English aro a graver people, and loyalty a grave subject, but because tnerens an innorem natural difference iif wealth, blood, and in terests, between tho contending ranks of Conservatism and Radicalism; and this difference i a.mattcoLvUalimportance to at!; s: The English' newspapers, too, treat politics as a science; they are filled with leTrned diacuSsiona of meaaurea and princi. pies.
